The second edition of the GBCI Europe Circle heads south to Catalonia and the shores of the Mediterranean. The 2023 theme, “To Neutrality & Beyond”, focuses on Europe’s race to neutrality and a “positive” future for our built environment.
Europe’s LEED Community Reunion
26-28 April 2023 | BARCELONA
*To NEUTRALITY & BEYOND*
ABOUT CIRCLE
We have purposefully designed Circle to blur the line between retreat and conference to create an energetic space for you to connect, learn and discover – a blend of familiar faces and cutting-edge ideas.
LEED unites many who attend – property owners, investors, architects, entrepreneurs, engineers, consultants and more – but experience with LEED is not required, nor is our content exclusively about LEED. We discuss the topics most important to those building green in Europe, those transforming our built environment for the next generations.
The inaugural edition of GBCI Europe Circle was hosted in Munich last May. It sold out quickly, attracting 120 professionals from 21 countries. Circle 2022 set a high bar, indeed, but we are planning for Circle 2023 in Barcelona to be even better. Come for the program and revel in the camaraderie, all backdropped by one of Europe’s most dynamic LEED metro markets.
